Today’s KMAX-V network emulator puts all the same capabilities into a virtual appliance. KMAX-V is a software package, a “VM appliance”, available for the VMware vSphere Hypervisor® ESXi.

Traditional Dev/Test requires the provisioning, installation, and configuration of vendor hardware for testing complex environments and apps. For labs and test environments utilizing VM technology, the KMAX-V Virtual Network Emulator significantly reduces provisioning and installation time. As a result, the product development and testing teams can focus on productive work as soon as possible.

“For many of our clients, the advantages of centralizing network management, reducing dependencies on additional hardware, and application portability make the VM environment the preferred solution for test labs in addition to data centers,” explained Chris Wellens, President & CEO, “Adding our advanced network simulation technology to the pre-deployment testing environment, will enhance and accelerate digital transformation by changing the design to deployment life cycle.”

With KMAX, you can create a WAN emulation in the lab, evaluate performance of your app or device, make corrections, in the presence of real-world network impairments, prior to deployment.
